In a message dated 98-03-25 17:19:12 EST, you write: << Census 1850 Tuscloosa Co., AL p. 206A Dist. 2 #171/171 9 Nov 2) 22 Feb 1839 Tuscaloosa Co. AL p. 199 Absolom Samford to Isaiah Samford (is this Absolom or Absolom Jr. ?? father to son or brother to brother?) >> I'm not sure I know what you are asking, but Absolom, Sr. was father to Isaiah and Absolom, Jr. was brother to Isaiah. Isaiah also named one of his sons Absolom. Also, Isaiah S. Sanford's actual birthdate was 12 Jan., 1816 in Buncomb Co., NC. He reported this when he took the oath of allegiance after the Civil War. He was my gggrandfather. If this doesn't answer your question, please e-mail and I will try to give a better answer. Also, I have lost my list of favorite places. Would you please send me the address of the Sanford Research page again?
